I don't think she'll do it.

Aye. I learned that fact a couple months after I finished the story.

Thanks for the feedback! Now let me see if I can answer all of your questions.

It's strange to see airplanes, usually they would use sky carriages or simply pegasi, won't they?

Vertibucks make less and less sense, why do the Enclave need any flying machine that don't require pegasi to fly? That's their biggest resource!

This is true. Pegasi would believe pegasi are better air support, but what about the earth ponies or unicorns? I'd imagine the most crazy and daring would come up with some form of vehicle to bolster the pegasi's efforts, and carry more weight. An airship can do the job just fine, but they're giant, slow, and handle like, well, a battleship. While the airplanes might carry more firepower than a pegasus and are more maneuverable than an airship, they're not as maneuverable or as silent as a pegasus.

A vertibuck powered by pegasi always seemed a bit... goofy to me. Sure you can build one that requires a pegasus to flap their wings inside a magical harness, but then you have the problem of muscle fatigue and engine exhuastion. A single mechanically powered vertibuck could easily transport a platoon of soldiers + gear to the fighting without tiring out the pilot as much as if they were sitting there flapping their wings. That is why the Steel Rangers of the island have a small aircraft carrier in the harbor as their base, because it was used by earth ponies and unicorns in limited numbers.

At least that is how I saw it. Though that raises the question as to why the other chapters don't have one. It could be as simple as saying only the island has one because it was out to sea at the time the bombs fell and took shelter there.

I'm really liking the interactions between Shock and Sister, hope to see Grumpy back so we can have the full trio.

Thanks.

I guess the biggest question is why Rose don't fly or even show her wings? Crippled pegasus?

She's actually a changeling who was branded a dashite when she fled with her marefriend, but the brand stays with her in each form so she just stays as a pegasus.

A wasteland heroine that don't like mares? Heresy!

Blood for the blood god. She's bi-curious.

For a moment I tought that this island was some kind of purgatory and everyone there was dead.

In the end I tried far, far too many ideas with this story (my first non-one shot) and it made the first half a large mess I'm still trying to correct.

The heart crushing spell is a bit sudden, no progress toward it, no sudden realization or anything in the like, it would be interesting to see her learning the spell before she could simply use it to crush the heart of her enemies so simply.

That is one of my many failings I've been trying to correct. See, when I wrote that chapter, it had been some time since I read the original and had forgotten if the alicorn heart attack spell was instant or took a few seconds. I probably should have fixed it on the rewrite, but I figured "It's done so it's done."

It was tough to not hit delete and rewrite it to where she survives. Hope you're enjoying it.

Yes, I have been unfortunate enough to read it. It was so vile that I had to go back and reread the original FoE to remenber why I had liked it so much afterwards.

Read the whole thing in one go. Dunno how it happened really. I just started reading it and I just kept going on with it. I did really enjoy how you correctly did the dynamic of never having Dog's past or at least her time in the Equestrian Military fully explained. But yeah, I Just started the sequel and I'm wondering how things are going to go.

Your book has been advertised on the new facebook group page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/foebooks/ :)

Second time, same as after first reading, i wonder: why in the world this has so few likes?!

I always adored her, even wrote silly fan-fics with her, almost like an annual gift to Yoats. Still owe him a third.
